Former collection of Carl Ross, caretaker of Currituck Shooting Club.

The Currituck Shooting Club was established in 1857. It is unknown who made this stylish redhead but it is likely from the hand of a Long Island maker. The technique of piecing cork together with wooden pegs was established by decoy makers from Long Island. Thomas Gelston (1851-1924) was a well known maker who utilized this construction method.

Original with gunning wear to the cork body.
